Meant to update this a while ago but loved this book! Super easy read to add on to my time with the Lord each day.

The Joys Of Friendship:

- God’s Design For Community
- In Friendship, Resist The Discomfort Of Receiving
Growing In Friendship

- Building Up The Next Generation Through Breakfast
My favorite author of this collaboration was Katie Davidson

took me a while to finish this one as there was such a variety of topics to sit with throughout. at first i felt like giving this more of a four because some articles really resonated with me and were great whereas others didn’t as much, but i also think there is such a range of topics covered that you could pick this up at different times and find different articles to be helpful, encouraging, or thought provoking that you didn’t previously. loved reading this w miss jackson and looking forward to debriefing with her in person.
